NST today- very nervous

I have my first NST test today and am very nervous. I am so scared that something will be wrong with my baby. I was diagnosed with gestational diabetes a couple of weeks ago and I am now on insulin. It has been one thing after another this month and I am now having a pity party. Today when we woke up the furnace is not working, so it already has not been a good day. Plus the washing machine is suddenly leaking.

Thank you for reading this, just needed to vent, and get some stress out.

Thanks Ladies! Everything went well. They (at least at my birth center) would do NST if you are having contractions, because it measures that as well. I will have it weekly to twice a week because of the GD and being "high risk."

Glad it went well. I have one every week now too, because of the GD. Today she took over an hour to get her rate up. Every time she moved the monitor would lose her becuase she was doing some huge movements and knocking the monitor right off my belly!

I go weekly for NST (this is third week for me). I have chronic high blood pressure, reason for doing NST weekly so early. But when I leave, I feel better, knowing he is being checked out and so far, everything looks good.
